Would I move to the U.S? No... but I can't imagine myself living anywhere else in the world either. So it's not just the U S. I don't even have a passport... so I don't even vacation outside Canada.

If I was rich like many Canadians are that moved there. As a regular guy the health care and social benefits out way and problems with winter. Even if I didn,t work for some reason all those things remain. Plus you would start at the back of the line in Canada I continue with my personal support in friends and family. I wouldn't want my kids drafted either like during Vietnam days. Very war like country

I've only just started this one but I've got to comment.\nUSA if you have health insurance, you still have co-pays. Even for things like an ED visits. And you pay, either through work or on your own, monthly for that insurance.\nIn Canada there is no co-pay, full stop (at least not in my province) and no monthly fee.\nI work for a call center and the client is an American health insurance company, so I've seen the invoices that hospitals send to the insurance. I've seen the co-pays the patients have to pay with insurance covering the rest.\nI'll take the wait for none critical care, thank you. Critical issues don't have that wait time, that's what triage is for.

It's weird, I've never even thought of it before...hhmmm. I don't think I could afford to move there either. To visit, yeah, there are a lot of places down south I'd like to see. I'm kinda worried about the heat in some States though. lol

Not only would I not consider living there, I wouldn’t go there on vacation either. Went to Florida as a kid and New Orleans as an adult, but now you couldn’t pay me to go. Too dangerous.

Not only would I never live there but I would never visit either. It would take me about 4 hours by car to get to Seattle (I live in Nanaimo) but I'd rather go randomly anywhere North or East.

I enjoy your channel! (from Ottawa). Can I make a small comment, though? Given that Canada and the US are both in America, when you talk about living in America, it sets my teeth on edge. Most Canadians refer the the US as either The US or the States.

Absolutely NO! When I married my American husband, I brought him here to Canada. If you ask him now if he would want to move back he says “absolutely not!” Lolol It’s not just about medical issues either.

Canada is a National Slave pitt and a failing welfare state.\n\nGo Home and Stay away . Either your freezing for 6 to 8 months or getting eaten alive by Mosquitoes in the humid summer. \n\nThe one thing that kept people comming here was Economic opportunity , but greedy ignorant politicians and their special interest groups have been destroying the Finacial future.\n\nThere is nothing left here but a Slave Pitt . Sorry to say the truth.

Not to mention that most Uber drivers are either immigrant doctors, engineers or lawyers because they can’t get a job with their degrees ? sad but true ??

If I brought a knife to school I’d get arrested too. So we either have problems with the laws or we can enforce it across the board

But let’s not act like Indians aren’t racist either…they are just as bad…:/

As a Canadian who moved to (self-proclaimed world-class Vancouver) 30+ years ago, when it was a gritty, fun, quirky unusual city, I thought it was paradise in Canada. However, as time marched on, I saw the gradual change, the boring glass towers, the shoebox apartments, the closing of most live rock music venues downtown, the end of Indy races in False Creek, the cancelation of Seafest, the unchallenged foreign ownership of both commercial ond mostly empty condos, leading to a severe housing crisis - gridlock and crumbling infrasture. Furthermore, the cost of living and taxation is crippling. The present Gov't (either sides, 1 of the same) has lost all credibility. The media is garbage. Healthcare is subpar period. So, like yourself, I've also spent several years overseas in cities that are soooooo much more beautiful with amazing climates. I also spent as much time outside Vancouver possible during the last 4 years. I haven't changed much personally but wow(!) the rise in narcissism, anger and divisiveness in Vancouver over that period of time is palpable. You nailed it with 'status chasing and diengenuis' - When you leave, then come back you notice this change much more. For those that were trapped here for the last 4 years, I feel for you. I really do.

Only 230 million out of the 331.9 million Americans own houses not rented not leased payed for in full this mean 100.9 million either don't own or are renting or are in housing these people will most likely contribute to the homeless epidemic which means hundreds of thousands of family's are homeless on top of the already 30% of people without homes in america

Greed has taken over in Aust young people can’t find accomodation it forces people to leave ,your wright in what your saying mate ,I live in Perth too and your stuck here you either take it or get out old jimmy

And Canadian Govt helping Terrorists like Khalistan not helping either

They don't like native Americans either.. should come to Toronto or Hamilton Ontario

As a Native kid who grew up on the reservation in Canada, I used to be afraid to go into the city because of the tings people would say to us. It wasn't just white people either. I have lived in Utah the past 20 years, and I'm sad to hear it still hasn't changed.

As a Nigerian, who doesn't care what people think about me. Discriminate whatever you want, So long I'm cashing that bill ?, I'm fine. If I got the chance to go to Canada, I will. “ Not everyone good, not everyone is bad either “\n\nAct like you don't care, and make them look like fools. The moment you start reacting, they start feeding off it.

i bet she doesnt have a nasty loud attitude either, right?

In reading the comments I have not seen one person mention that BIDEN AND HARRIS are the reason for the entry of illegal immigrants at the southern border. I don’t read anybody saying that DEMOCRAT SANCTUARY CITIES AND STATES ARE HYPOCRITES. THEY DO NOT WELCOME BUS LOADS THAT ARE OVERCROWDING AND DEVASTATING THE SOUTHERN BORDER STATES. AS LONG AS THEY AS THE ILLEGALS STAY IN THE SOUTHERN STATES THE NORTHERN DEMOCRATS ARE FINE. A FEW HUNDRED OR LESS ON A BUS TO THE NORTH ARE COMPLAINING AND BOOHOOING A BIG PITY PARTY. Half of you voted for this and I don’t believe the 2020 election results either. Pres Trump was doing a good job. Look at Biden’s & Harris’ mess!!!! ?

I tell people this all the time keep thinking you are welcome in Paris Tuscany Italy and Spain don't think China or Japan going roll out red carpet for your black skin either. You need a white guide everywhere today it's like VIP pass to restaurants clubs even some department stores. Till black people build it's own business , banks and black women no there places in a relationship nothing will never change. Only black men can raise their own sons not mothers. ?

The IRPA has clearly mentioned that if you submit the application through a third party, then you as a sole applicant is responsible for the accuracy of all the information and documents. If you are found to have misrepresented any information before or after the application has been evaluated, you either are denied entry to Canada or deported. These students deserve the deportation.

This is so sad for all the citizens on either side.

Holy...Mother of God! At this rate, we either have to terraform the Mid-Western desert into a liveable environment or face the problem of hospitable living space shortage. If we also ignore that shortage, then several decades later, the USA, being the tendency to act humanitarian, policies will require architecting new land expansion outwards to the sea, prior historic example is Hong Kong being a small crowded island. That solution or build vertical. Going underground or expanding upwards on sky scrapers multi-story apartments. Or to the Moon or Mars.\n\nWhy does the physical composition of these Central Americans and South-Americans people drive their sex-drive outrageously out of control? Is the cause the high protein meat diet? Or their inherently healthy tropical nature born of the sun's vitalizing energy? Whichever the cause, America will sooner or later face the biggest population crisis eventually in the future. \nThere are two choices of action at the moment. Either control this type of uncontrollable surge or plan huge architectural civil projects in order to meet the future need of population boom accompanionship. Dear God almightly, help us all. I presently also have a mouse problem and cockroach problem at my residence! Gasp! Sigh...?\nI wish I have an alien ship capeable of interstellar travel, so I can get the FUCK off this planet.

Do you know why? Because the worst of black people make it hard for the rest of you. Stop excusing the bad behavior of the worst of you. Separate from them. Don't treat them like they're part of you. Being late, etc isn't ok. Fighting with co workers isn't ok. You really dint of good analysis. Some of those island nations don't want black gold either because of the worst of you. THEY RUIN if for you. Start there

This is the perfect time for guns to be of good use, Especially all the machine guns we have here in the US. Maybe that will help to stop perpetuating the idea that there is help offered at the boarder because there’s not and never will be no matter how much you begg and try to get everyone to pity you. It’s not us you need to turn against either it’s your own government and wealthy oligarchs to blame.

Honey it's like that all over even black people don't even like black people we don't have no Unity we don't have to go out of this country to see how our own black people treat us other than a lot of white people their are black people that don't like black people all these things you're putting down here that don't mean nothing to me because we are our own worst enemy everyday how black people treat each other how did Black movie stars and they all look down on each other I see it all the time when i would go to the church and see the gospel singers see how they are so uppity I don't need to go out the country all I know is that we are one of our own worst enemies I don't care about going to another place I know that some black people there that don't like each other either so you can't win for losing until the black people coming to Unity otherwise it doesn't matter

Chall don like no nuffin bout dem either.

Where Pakistani dresses and join Canada weddings or Go on long drive with your wife 24 hours challenge and enjoy every moment so she can explore things either and it will be fun for you both and we will enjoy either

Well she isn't Canadian either, her ancestors are European and they killed the real owners of the land, so by logic she is the offspring of murderers and thieves, at least these men came in a lawful manner and showed her the respect she doesn't deserve.

This is nothing new. Ever since the beginning of time Caucasians have always felt this way. It's in their blood, their DNA. They feel Superior to everyone else of color. They see us people of color as inferior. They think they're entitled to everything on this earth. So hateful and so wrong. This will never change or go away. Just like the white blood cells that don't like the red blood cells and vise versa. It's a sad part of life. We don't live in a perfect world. It was never meant to be perfect either. Humans are the root of all evil.

They don't want venezuelans in Mexico either

But, I thought Trump put the wall thingy up. . .Wait to they get here and realize we don't have affordable homes, groceries, gas, medical, etc, either.

At this point we just need to send troops to Mexico to eradicate these gangs. Thats why all these people are leaving honestly. Yall ever heard interviews of them and why theyre leaving? Alot of them are leaving because theyvhave death threat's from gangs. Id probably be doing the same shit if i was in their shoes but we already have so many homeless people here and we're in shambles ourselves. I dont understand why they just dont make a massive community for people like this or the homeless. Make it like that one city in America. I forget what its called. Its in California but there's basically no laws and you can do whatever. We took the land from Mexico so why not atleast give SOME back to people in need? Im not saying make it free. But im not saying make everyone's lives harder either. Theres definitely something the govt can do they just DONT want to

I'm white, both my parents are white and they, we didn't receive much better treatment here either. I think cronyism is a more accurate description than racism. \nCanadians seem to only accept those within their small, insular groups. You will notice that Canada supports multiculturalism but that means that there are thousands of cliques operating inside a whole. As for WS or microaggressions, don't worry as they will be overtaken by other groups which will won't even bother with being subtle.\nPeople have come here through legitimate channels or across at Roxham Road with the polite RCMP bellhops but failed to research thoroughly the reality of this land. I have talked to or read from newcomers who complain that it's cold and there's no culture. No kidding. (Try living in a logging camp with 300 inches of rain a year.) Suffice to say these newbies are less than thrilled.\nNot sure what to say other than this is the reality and it's quite unlikely to change no matter what Trudeau or others do. ?‍♀️?‍♀️

Republican s stop the bullshit y'all can't stop this shit either.

The grass aint greener over here in the US either. Im moving to Africa.

WS system has been alive in Canada for many years. It's global . Some places more, other less. Avoid living, visiting in predominant white areas and live, visit either black or diverse areas .HERES A TIP: BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER AND BUILD YOUR OWN EMPIRE OR YOYR OWN INDIVIDUAL EMPIRE. GET ALL THE TOP EDUCATION YOU CAN GET , IT WILL GIVE YOU CONTROL, RESPECT, AND POWER, WEALTH. BECOME LESS DEPENDENT ON THE WS. TAKE A PAGE FROM THE ASIAN. Thats why they are powerful

Aside from the fact that we need to protect our borders I would like to remind everybody that when I was a child we went into Venezuela as a military force we continue to go through all the South American countries either taking out directly the people that were voted into office and placing our own in there and then exploiting each country and now the Venezuela has come upon corporate entities who are literally starving them so badly that they’re going to the zoo and eating the animals it just seem unjustly criticized because you never hear about that side of it you just assume there’s Mexicans trying to cross the border as usual this is open my eyes

The issue here is not that we have a housing crisis , first of all let’s start with honesty. I have multiple friends from different culture backgrounds, however, one thing that sticks out to me , and some of you may not want to hear it , it’s that most of my friends that are predominantly “white” have become homeless or nearly missed it by being able to get some rental assistance either through local or federal grants. With that being said, I’m an American as well but in all reality it’s mostly immigrants or their offsprings that I witness myself still living regularly even during and after covid,why is that ? Why ….

Noone can legally hire them. So they'll either break the law or starve. Some of those people might starve to death just remember that before you become an enabler.

Few shots in the air either gets them to retreat or gives reason to down the violent ones. Either way, they get back.

As a mexican I can confirm we dont want venezuelan either they are lazy, thats why they dont stay in mexico there is plenty of work here, but no no they want food stamps and free housing

What I can say is her overarching disposition is a turn off to me and I’m black. If she showed up acting this way at work and none of us were there so we don’t know but if she did, I’m black as hell and I wouldn’t want to deal with her either just being honest.

Wait until they find out there are no jobs, places to live, or opportunities here either.

Guess Socialism didn't work there either.

Expect me to come there I'm not now coming to africa that's good for me i will go there one day and this bw she is right they're sneaky with their racism and everything else i don't putted nothing pass them demons both he and she but europeans countries are ws i ain't going to either one of them ain't my people hell no i don't trust them like that ?????????? and finally i probably want I'm the man of my word always.

Go back to your country, either come here the right way or don't come at all. Tired of our tax dollars paying for all these people to become leaches on our system. Vote Republican!!

Honestly, why do they want to come here. We don’t have sh%t either.
